Look who turned up for the October Meetup!

We had a great turnout for our monthly Disability Studies Meetup at Temple University's TECH Center. It definitely had a literary and artistic flair. Carol asked each attendee to write down the name that they would like to give to their autobiography. I think we have the notes somewhere, but my favorite title was "I Learned Everything from Carol."

The more formal program consisted of a presentation by Sarah Drury on some of the basic computer circuitry that underlay eVokability, a project to expand the emotional expressive range of people with disabilities through new media. Photos from the public performance of the eVokability: The Walking Project can be seen elsewhere on this blog.

Hi Mike and other Philly meetup gaggle. Are you guys starting a new university up at Liberty Center anyway? This is what I hear. I need to check with ILR about housing availability -- economies with rollin showers would work now. There is a true scarity in the city. Love you toboth and see you soon -- oh so very soon. I wish we has the energy, impetuts, or something to get us over to the arts event tonight. You guys rock. Sharon
